US Academy of Martial Arts Inc. states that it is changing the face of martial arts by turning attention away from being brute competitors to a focus on self-defense, while still utilizing healthy competition as a tool and motivator. The program focuses on providing martial arts classes for self-defense and lifestyle improvement and describes its training as inclusive regardless of age, gender, and physical stature, in a safe, family-friendly environment. The academy offers a wide selection of traditional martial arts classes such as Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Karate, with a diverse combination of disciplines including Jiu-Jitsu, Karate, Aikido, and Judo, and provides Advanced and Fundamental Kids martial arts training for 8–14-year-old students, as well as Advanced and Fundamental martial arts training for adults ages 15 through seniors. Little Samurais is described as a parent participation class for ages 3–5 that develops life skills, and there is also a Pee Wee program for ages 5–7. The program offers a Free Trial Class and notes that instructors are mentored to become the best in the state and provide individualized training, with flexible schedules and classes offered on a variety of days and times.
Owner Daniel Cavaliere leads US Academy of Martial Arts Inc. and has studied kinesiology with a business emphasis. The academy states that it is a home for everyone who desires top-quality and inclusive martial arts training and that it is happy to serve people of all ages in San Luis Obispo.
Parents describe their experiences in several testimonials, including one parent who states that their son has been at US-AMA for 5 years and that it has been a great experience for him. Another parent describes the respect, acceptance, patience, and love at the dojo as affecting every aspect of life. Other parents note that classes are focused and controlled with kids having fun and progressing through skill levels, that Sensei Dan provides a rigorous yet encouraging environment with high but attainable expectations, and that US-AMA emphasizes the development of personal character with Sensei Dan as a role model while making classes fun and engaging. One parent comments on how Sensei commands the attention of young children and how quickly their boys have learned skills and gained confidence.
